Chain Heavy
Kanye West Song Lyrics

[Chorus]

My chain heavy, yeah, yeah, my chain heavy, my chain heavy, my chain too heavy

My chain heavy, yeah, yeah, my chain heavy, my chain heavy, my chain too heavy

[Kanye west - verse 1]

They try to tell me my chain broke the levy,

Maybe cuz its flooded,

Why you walkin' round with a baby cross his cousin,

My teeth already white yall gone make me floss for nothing,

My teeth real diamonds what's the cause of the frontin',

While yall got all caps on?,

Don cheadle time,

Get extra black on em',

Burn hollywood burn,

Take too long for niggas to get their turn,

Probably be cremated before I get my urn,

They try to tell me that aliens built the pyramids,

I swear life's a bitch on a period,

For every inch they cut the nose off the sphinx,

I make my jeweler add a few more links,

You can look at me and dont fuck what nobody thinks,

And my face always lookin' like somebody stinks.

[Chorus]

My chain heavy, yeah yeah, my chain heavy, my chain heavy, my chain too heavy

My chain heavy, yeah yeah, my chain heavy, my chain heavy, my chain too heavy

Here we go, like we should

Feel the sweat, on ya face

Here we go, like we should

Feel the sweat, on ya face

Alright, okay

Here we go, like we should, like we should, like we should

[Kanye west - verse 2]

Question..

What color was the skin of the man who bared the cross?

No matter how many lashes they couldn't beat it off,

How many caskets will we see in one lifetime?

That's why its miles davis kobe it's mic time,

I keep that gold book on a ottoman,

And wrote hooks about slaves that was slaughtered in the 1800?s,

Yall forget that I got called nigger on twitter so many times,

Yo I lived that,

Now I'm just trying to find where to raise my kids at,

Cuz they don't want niggas next to where they crib at,

Hey real tom lookin' for a nice park,

Twelve noon she say my family gone make it too dark,

This is the flow that solar eclipses,

So hopefully one day that real soul will eclipse the bullshit, they got us listenin' to,

In this existence,

Don't give up now just a little more persistence,

I am the day ice cube met michael jackson,

Keep 'em away huh, something might happen,

This is the making of a masterpiece,

So we broke out the chains and told the master peace.

[Chorus]

[Talib kweli]

Some wear a suit and tie, they dont wanna remain average

Some wear a suit and tie like a chain in a straight jacket

My chain heavy stopping that traffic

Coppers harrass us, the da attack us want us in chains like ba baracus

And a major factor in my decision to be a rapper was rebellion

Being anti-establishment was attractive to a black kid from brooklyn

Flames got them things cooking, land of the jooks

Where the lames got the chains tooken

It aint looking good for you if you a tourist

Yeah sometimes our rhymes is on a frequency that only purists hear

A couple rappers try to beef with me, nobody scared

Niggas was so fucking corny that nobody cared

Why I gotta battle rappers, I debate scholars

Question do it gotta make sense if it make dollars?

Sick visions is living inside our brains

Its like sadomasochistic addicted to whips and chains

Figuratively quite, literally, clinically insane spit flames when I vist the higher planes

Try in vain to ignore, don't buy the chain if you can't afford it

'ye them load of a-whores by the boards trust

[Consequence]

Uh, that old ball and chain had me chained up for weeks

Of course I'm off the chain as soon as I hit the streets

And now when we leak she saying the games over

I drove her crazy and she became a chain smoker

Now the new dude she saying that could stay over

Should be a chain who goes by the name of choker

Thats what he did when she told him he should play this over

So the chains on, throw em on the way over

But when I came over, his only response

Well be the owner of a chain of restaurants

Cause I'mma eat your food for that chain that I worn

Cause you be running round like the chain makes the man

So it obvious that he don't know the chain of command

Cause my chain commands, that kind of respect

And its so chunky that its a pain in the neck

But it came with a check, I remember on chaining day

It spoke for itself and this is what the chain would say

'Them chain snatchers are hoping that you aint ready

So don't get distracted keep your aim steady

Or there'll be a chain reactionsince my chains heavy'

[Chorus]
